I can drink and work!!!! Lmao!!! I haven't actually data logged it, but I did notice the temperature needle hangs out a little less than half way now ... I have been more focused on getting my blower problems fixed up, than what has gone on with the thermostat

good luck, I think Livernois's reason is coolant to the Turbos temps. Nothing to do with UR's. Would rather look at a electric fan upgrade to accomplish better air flow at idle. Maybe turn M on all the time.

LaMotta Performance in orlando fl just installed one on my truck it literally took them 10 minutes if that. was included in a package deal they have with brisk plugs and sct tuner. i've only had it for one day and the truck should have been like this from factory! (2012 ecoboost) today is not too hot so i haven't noticed it turning on sooner or not but i will report back the more i drive it! it is a reische one by the way.

A radiator keeps the motor cool. The thermostat opening sooner has absolutely no affect on the designs ultimate resolution.

It helps keep the engine temps lower which = less detonation especially when running hot tunes. Also helps with heat soak. Makes a big difference in the summer time.
